... undescribable horrors would appear through crack in space-time to take us all to depths of unimaginable dimensions of hell. You're talking about proveribial Evil Overlord, not some stinkin' government that can only send unmarked UAVs to wipe your house from the face of the earth. And don't pronounce Gdmn-Sch aloud goddamnint, naming == summoning, thats demonology 101.

hmm, is this really a surprise to any forum regulars who recognize my texts ?

Digital Services Manager and occasional prepress for about 6 years at a small, positively doomed print shop. To be fair...many print shops that aren't looking to change their game for a world that doesn't care about having things on paper are doomed. Its paid the bills but not the greatest paying job...but better I guess than a McJob, and its just as stupid and frustrating place to be. Been bumping up my side work quite a bit lately to prepare myself for making a move out of here sooner than later...actually had some pretty good gigs this year, currently wrapping up a live album I recorded for a band who's studio album I mastered...heading to the studio tomorrow for the weekend to track drums, arrange, and write songs for a really big artist's sorta-solo project (he and I are songwriter team). Got an album and an EP in progress with basics tracked for a couple bands waiting for them to finish (cash flow), another live album on the bench ready to mix/master, finished up a lot of remixes for a big artist that were released in June as a video campaign (remixes synced to video), just got another remix gig for a band I've always loved that's doing a Kickstarter campaign, on top of starting a textile business with my wife and finally getting websites put together so I can better advertise my services.

Student at university, double major in Spanish and Fine Art (painting concentration). I cook food in order to pay the bills. Looking forward to grad school, developing my art practice, and creating synaesthetic aural/visual pieces in 2013.
